Harvey, after reading the Wikipedia entries for The Dirty War and Peronism and the biographies of Juan and Evita Peron I'm pretty confused. Who are the 'good guys' in modern Argentinian history? Peron is thought to have been a Fascist yet it seems him and Evita were beloved by the people. Then the military overthrows Peron and this 'Dirty War' begins - the opposition to the junta are a mixture of different groups, including extreme Marxist guerillas who killed many people themselves, right wing Peronists and left wing Peronists which seems impossible, like saying there's a right wing faction of Barack Obama supporters. I know a military dictatorship isn't something anybody wants to live under but neither is Communism which is what these revolutionaries were fighting for. These students who were kidnapped and killed were probably Marxist?

Obviously I don't understand Argentinian and South American history and culture.
